Positions

This entry describes the theory that Amelia Earhart was captured by the Japanese military. It notes that Pacific tensions with Japan were high as World War II loomed, and holds she was seized and executed after crashing—a claim historians regard as unproven.

Both Trump and Biden's plans fall short of free healthcare for all that other developed nations have. With premiums still unaffordable for many Americans and drug prices sold at exorbitantly high prices, the US needs someone who will provide a stronger stance on these issues.

This position holds that Americans voted for Trump in 2016 because he spoke to their anxieties. It argues that he appealed to the working class and to fears over unregulated immigration, mobilising key demographics with the simple, effective rallying cry of 'Make America Great Again'.

This position holds that Americans voted for Donald Trump in 2016 mainly because they disliked Hillary Clinton. It argues many ballots were a protest against the Democratic candidate—whose email scandal eroded trust—and that Trump appealed as a break from the political elite.

This position holds that Americans voted for Trump in 2016 because they preferred his promises. It points to his pitch as a businessman who could revive the economy, his defence of First and Second Amendment liberties, and his 'America First' approach to foreign policy and immigration.

This position holds that Eminem's enduring popularity shows Americans grant white artists more latitude. It notes that his lyrics frequently depict violence against women — including his mother and ex-wife — yet sold prolifically, a leniency it suggests a Black artist would not be given.

This position surveys the beliefs of Amish Christians, an American Protestant group of around 200,000 members. It outlines their history and schisms, their distinctive worship and clergy, their attitudes to politics and equality, and the plain, separated way of life their faith prescribes.

This position attributes the surge in Among Us's popularity to the Covid-19 lockdowns. It argues that the game's online, group-based social deduction offered a way for friends and strangers to gather, talk and compete remotely at the precise moment in-person socialising was cut off.

Among Us is available for free or for a very low price on a variety of popular platforms, including phones and PCs.

This position backed Amy Klobuchar as the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee. It argued that, as a Midwestern senator, she could win back the heartland voters whose defection cost Democrats in 2016, and that she would prioritise the opioid crisis and mental health.

This position presents analytic philosophy as a leading research approach in academia. It describes a method grounded in careful argumentation and logical rigor, and argues its strength lies in being incremental—building knowledge step by step through precise analysis.

This position holds that anarchism is possible today. It points to historical episodes of statelessness and to contemporary communities run on anarchist principles — such as Rojava and Freetown Christiania — as evidence that large-scale societies can function without centralised authority.

The twenty-first century has already seen extraordinary technological and cultural changes. These changes will fundamentally alter the human experience. They will open the door to an Anarchist future.

André 3000 is one of the most unique rappers to grace the mic. With critically acclaimed albums like Stankonia and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and his ability to craft deep and meaningful songs over popular hip-hop beats, André 3000 has cemented his legacy as one of the best rappers of all time.

This position backed Andrew Yang as the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee. It argued that his signature Universal Basic Income policy was the push toward equality America needed, and that he uniquely understood the importance of technology to the country's future.

Angular is a framework for building desktop and mobile websites created and led by the Angular Team at Google. It is a TyepScript-based open-source application framework.

Unlike humans, animals lack moral judgment and possession of rights. Therefore, animal testing cannot violate animal rights. Humans need to conduct animal experimentation to further science, which makes the use of animals in research ethically justifiable.

From a utilitarian approach, animal testing is ethical if its benefits for humans outweigh its costs for animals. Another perspective is that animal testing is ethical on the condition that the researcher fully follows the related ethical and legal guidelines.

The use of animals in research is ethically wrong because of the harm inflicted on animals. The supposed benefits of animal experimentation cannot justify this harm. Testing is forced upon animals by disregarding their rights.

This entry describes anti-bourgeois anti-Semitism, which scapegoats Jews as embodiments of the ills of industrialisation and modernity. It documents tropes casting Jews as 'too clever' or as unethical in business—baseless prejudices used to vilify a whole people.

This position describes anti-capitalist antisemitism as one form of European antisemitism: the trope that casts Jews as the representatives or embodiment of globalised capital, blamed for the ills of a capitalist society. The entry documents it as a recurring antisemitic pattern.

This entry describes anti-leftist anti-Semitism, which falsely blames Jews for fomenting socialism to tear down Western society. It documents baseless tropes casting socialism as a 'Jewish conspiracy' and 'Jewish' leftism as a threat to traditional values—conspiracy theories rejected as bigoted.

This position holds that anti-Zionism is acceptable while anti-Semitism is not. It argues anti-Semitism is bigotry against Jewish people, whereas anti-Zionism is a political stance on Israeli policy—rooted in international law and held by many Jews themselves.

This position holds that anti-Zionism is the same as anti-Semitism. It argues anti-Zionism is a coded attack on Jews dressed in political language, that denying the Jewish people's right to self-determination is itself anti-Semitic, and that anti-Zionism is simply its modern form.

This position describes anti-Zionist antisemitism as one form of European antisemitism: the conflation of criticism of the state of Israel with hostility toward Jews as a whole. It examines how legitimate political criticism of Israel can, in some forms, shade into hatred of Jewish people.

This position holds that anyone can wear a bindi. It argues that, although the bindi originated as a religious symbol in South Asia, it has evolved into a widely worn fashion accessory — even within the cultures it comes from — so wearing it elsewhere is not appropriation.

With over 60 million songs, you'll be sure to find music from the artists you love and from artists you have yet to discover. Apple Music is known for its exclusive content and its unique integration with iTunes, allowing for prime accessibility on all Apple products.

This position holds that approval voting is the best electoral system, letting voters back every candidate they approve of, with the most-approved winning. Its great virtue, it argues, is simplicity — voters face one easy question — which could lift the turnout that complexity depresses.

This position holds that art serves a functional purpose. Its argument is that one of art's oldest roles is to beautify the useful objects of everyday life — ceramics, glassware, jewellery, furniture, textiles and clothing — a decorative function stretching back thousands of years.

This position holds that art serves entertainment and self-improvement. Its arguments note that art is used therapeutically for healing and diagnosis, that it evokes a wide range of emotions in viewers, and that making art offers a uniquely free space for creativity and self-expression.

This position names Arthur Rowe the best Tottenham Hotspur manager of all time. It argues that during his 1949–1955 reign—cut short by ill health—he led Spurs to back-to-back league titles and pioneered the influential 'push and run,' or one-two, style of play.

This position holds that asking whether socialism is ethical is too reductive. It argues that socialism spans many ideologies, that every economic system has comparable flaws, and that systems are themselves neither moral nor immoral — what matters is how people manipulate them.
